Hello,

If you copy a selection in one score, can you access this selection from within a plugin in another score?

Thanks,
Luc.

Hi Jojo,

Yes and no, when searching previous posts, I landed on the plugin page and misread 'add plugin' with 'add topic'. So I created a project instead of a forum post. That was not my intention, and you can't reply to it. However, I don't see an option to remove the project. This forum topic should remain.

Thanks,
Luc.

I see, I need to read properly ;-)

Yes you can: copy something in one score, focus on another score and run
curScore.startCmd()
cmd("paste")
curScore.endCmd()
I attach commands.txt, i.e. everything you can 'try' in the cmd statement
commands.txt
EDIT In MU3 there is also cmd("next-score"); but I doubt this will work in MU4
(and next-score keeps going: back to the first score if you don't stop it.)

Thanks, elsewhere. That commands.txt file is really useful.

However, I wasn't looking to paste the copied content, though. I just want to look at the measures, notes, ... in the part that is copied, so have access to the copied content like you have to a score with curScore. Perhaps the structure is different making this impossible.

Thanks,
Luc.

You can read 'any' file from a plugin, but that won't tell you about the selection
var test = testFile.read();
console.log(test); // will print the file content
Is that what you want?
To parse the file you could look at my plugin
https://musescore.org/en/project/musicxml-parser
as a basis. Feel free to modify it to suit your needs
